exact repost of http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=947376

What's wrong with reposts within reason -- especially when earlier post(s) have failed to get traction but the current one is succeeding?

JeremyChase• 17 years ago

Primarily because it is a link to TechCrunch.

Sorry. Usually HN catches them automatically...maybe it's getting swamped by the copious spam on the new page :-/ I've left this up because your original post seems to have vanished, even though I just voted for it.

If it's any comfort, >75% of my submissions sink without trace and get reposted later by someone else. I suppose some people tweet theirs but I can't stand Twitter. Or perhaps I just suck :)

Is it possible that the dupe-checking gets tricked by a trailing slash?

anigbrowl3• 17 years ago

Indeed. I always just copy the whole URL (in chrome), maybe other browsers don't include that? This isn't the first duplicate I've seen that just had slightly mismatching URLs.

In a desperate bid to stay relevant, if Chrome OS turns out to be awesome maybe it will bing more consistency to HN posts...er...

The Chrome logo looks like a futuristic, robotic, eye. And I find it a little haunting.

It's like a colored version of pieces of GLaDOS.

Yes, and it has an angry and evil look. A very bad logo. Surprised that it made it thru. Even Scott McCloud did not notice this?

Looks like the old Simon Says game to me ...

I was just going to say the same thing! For those not familiar: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_(game)

As part of Google's ever-growing marketing efforts, next week's episode of Stargate: Universe will reveal that the Kinos were just unpainted prototypes of the Google Flying Spybots that will see all, record all, and send all back to the Googleplex for processing.

Next Thurdsay, Google will announce plans to explore other galaxies. We have this from a reliable source.

It reminds me of the morph ball from Metroid.

Spot the reflected Apple logo, top left?

It's the new friendlier version of HAL-9000; guaranteed not to kill in the first year of use.
